Keeping his nose to the grindstone would be fine if we could get a Los Alamitos Bay mosquito to do it. Canadian dollars are worth nearly as much as the U.S. dollars now, we read. But who knows how much that is? The American people came through the trying economic period immediately following the World War with exemplary courage and fortitude. It is the magnificent spirit of the people that is doing much to bring the Nation's economic life back to normal. The face of the civilized world should be set firmly against warfare and against conditions which might breed wars. The zealous energies of all civilized lands should be directed resolutely against bloody conflicts. There should be the most earnest striving to avert wars in future. The Los Angeles police department is attempting to stop speeding there by a special "drive" against reckless driving. Better a steady drive against the speeders, than any special drive. If it be known that at any and all times speeders are subject to arrest and severe punishment, there will be less speeding. MAKE TARiff BUSINESS ISSUE SOLELY The tariff should not be a partisan political issue in this country. There may have been very good reason for sharp political division, on principle, on the tariff in the earlier days of the republic, when tariff laws and their effects were more or less tentative. But this has been an issue so long—more than a century—and the workings of the tariff have become so much better classified, that there no longer is the sharply-defined issue between political parties on this question that there once was. The tariff, it would seem, should be removed from the welter of the political agitation. It should be placed upon a scientific, business-like, non-partisan basis. Revision of schedules should be made, from time to time, as needed, and as America's interests require, based on scientific study of conditions in this country and abroad by an expert tariff commission. There should be an end to the periodic fussing and stewing and agitating for political effect. All parties should strive together to put the tariff on a stable basis, grounded in business principles and established by sound scientific understanding. This desideratum will not come at once. But there is good reason to hope and to believe that it will come long, upon the insistent demand of the people. RANKS COL. ROOSEVELT AS GREATEST Opinions of eminent foreigners as to great Americans are always interesting.

The activities and influence of women in politics no longer are subject to sneering doubts or to pessimistic conjecture. Women have met and are meeting superbly the duties, responsibilities and opportunities which entrance into politics has opened to them. Equal suffrage no longer is a obvious experiment—it should not have been so considered at any time. This Nation has reason to be proud of its opportunities, facilities and influences for enlightenment. Its schools, its churches, its newspapers, magazines and periodicals, its libraries, its lecture halls—all contribute to the enlightenment of the people. There are almost endless means of acquiring information and culture in this country. And these means of self-education are accessible to the poorest and humblest denizen of the land. A local physician perhaps didn't know how badly a patient needed whiskey when he issued a prescription Tuesday morning. An empty bottle was found in an auto belonging to residents of Orange who visited the Orange show Tuesday night. The label, bearing the name of the local physician and the man to whom the prescription was issued, stated that the whiskey was to be used a teaspoonful at a time as needed. RANKS COL. ROOSEVELT AS GREATEST Opinions of eminent foreigners as to great Americans are always interesting. Particularly notable are the views of such a prominent man as is Lord Northcliffe, the great British publisher. Lord Northcliffe says that he regards Col. Theodore Roosevelt as the greatest man he ever has known. "He had vision; he was forceful and unafraid," exclaimed the distinguished journalist. Among other great things accomplished by Colonel Roosevelt, Lord Northcliffe referred to the Panama Canal—a achievement "that must have a considerable influence on the destiny of the human race." Lord Northcliffe is not alone in giving Colonel Roosevelt superlative rank among great Americans. As the career of this wonderful man is studied in the clearer light of retrospect, freed from political passion and prejudice, his greatness stands out more luminously. The fame of Colonel Roosevelt will increase with the layse of time. SUPPLY AND DEMAND The Gasoline reserve stock is larger than ever, we read. Crude oil is going down. Gasoline is going up. The American public just loves to be skinned. The Washington correspondents have been trying desperately to get up a cabinet sensation—a split and some resignations. It is rarely good dull-time reading, if one does not look too carefully into the reports, as to fact or fiction. New straw lids are called "nobby." Nobby hats for nobby heads.

Please Consider this a Personal Invitation The S. Q. R. Store THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Abe Martin New York Letter by Lance Jasmin Price NEW YORK, June 5.—A class in "housekeeping and home-making" has been established at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, which intends to prove, among other things, that three good, square meals a day for four people can be provided at a cost of $1.34 a day! Impossible? Sot at all, its economic experts declare. Real houses will be used for the laboratory work of the home-making class. Three or them have been taken for the purpose, not "model flats," but honest-to-goodness habitations. Frederick W. Howe, director of the Department of Household Science and Arts, is responsible for the innovation. He has undertaken to prove that attractive homes and good food are possible for the small-salaried man, provided he is married to a girl well-trained in domestic matters. The steel and motion picture industries will have to give up their places as our biggest industries if they don't keep hard at it. Law-making seems to have become the favorite occupation of the country, with close to the biggest production figures. Armand B. Coligne, president of Coligne's Reports, a business to inform clients of the legislative status of their interests, tells me that we are turning out 45,000 laws a year in our various state legislatures, to say nothing of what is going on in Congress. The greater number of those laws affect business interests of one kind or another, and may help to explain the furrowed brows one sees on so many of our American business men. "It takes a force of men in every state just to keep track of all these legislative enactments," said Mr. Coligne. "I sympathize with the men who have to see that they are obeyed. When a legislature has tried out everything else in the way of restraints and compulsions, and regula- Comments on What Editors CRITICS OF THE BUDGET— What partisanship can do when it tries is illustrated by the contradictory interpretations which are placed upon the budget figures submitted to the house by Budget Director Dawes. Two men look at the very same items. One of them exclaims, "How economical!" while the other cries, "How extravagant!" The Republicans call the attention of the country to a "saving" of a billion and a half. The Democrats invite the voters to observe the way in which the cost of government is going up. Both sides to this uscientific discussion might learn something besides mathematics from General Dawes. In submitting his figures the director of the budget declared the budget system a non-partisan product. He went on to make some remarks regarding the proper meaning of "savings" which in their eagerness to disagree over the significance of the figures congressmen of both parties apparently skipped. If anybody is claiming a "saving" of $1,600,000,000 in government expenditures for 1922 over 1921, it is not the official spokesman of the administration. On the other hand, to charge that the figures are "plainly deceptive" and that they have been "manipulated in an effort to mislead the public" is simply ridiculous. As the mover of the resolution in response to which General Dawes made his report, Representative Byrns, ranking Democratic member o f the appropriations committee, seems to have felt bound to attack the figures. He had no difficulty in showing that congress made deficiency appropriations of $293,000,000 for the present fiscal year. If he could have taken the further step of About the middle of June we will have with us a Philippine parliamentary mission. President Quezon, of the Philippine senate; Speaker Omana, of the house; Dean Maximo M. Kalaw, not educated, and a large party of senators, representatives and other distinguished Filipinos, will come along. They are coming to ask them diate and absolute independence for the Philippine Islands. They won't get it. They will be told they didn't know enough. The policy inaugurated by President McKinley; Secretary of State Root and Governor William Howard Taft will be continued by President Harding; Secretary of State Hughes and Governor Leonard Wood. That policy is this: "Liberty some day, may be; but not now. You have not yet learned to run a country properly. Watch us; we'll show you." "Yes, we'll show 'em. We recommend that congress appoint a committee to show the visiting mission around. This committee should be split up into various subcommittees, each with its own chairman. As chairman of the sub-committee on political elections, we would suggest Truman H. Newberry, of Michigan; on justice, treatment of prisoners, graft prosecutions, etc., Harry M. Daugherty; on conservation national resources, Secretary Fall; on treaty obstruction, Senator Lodge; on trick budgets, Gen. Dawes; on treasury deficits, Secretary Mellon; on how to run a merchant marine at a loss, Chairman A. D. Lasker, of the shipping board; on legislative deocrum; Senator Tom Watson or Representative Blanton, of Texas; on tariff-making, McCumber of Fordney; on Labor, Judge Gray or one of the coal operators; on respect for civil service; President Harding or anybody else of his administration. And so on. On how to force farmers to sell their products below cost while keeping the cost of living sky-high, any of our big business men can teach the Filipino things they little dream of now. Oh, yes! the Philippine Islands are backward. But we must not forget they have not always had the benefit of our political teachings and example. Given time, and men like the above mentioned to put them onto the ropes, and they'll no doubt just turn out 45,000 laws a year in our various state legislatures, to say nothing of what is going on in Congress. The greater number of those laws affect business interests of one kind or another, and may help to explain the furrowed brows one sees on so many of our American business men. "It takes a force of men in every state just to keep track of all these legislative enactments," said Mr. Coigne. "I sympathize with the men who have to see that they are obeyed. When a legislature has tried out everything else in the way of restraints, compulsions and regulations, they seem to spend any energy left on taxation. We count on receiving 2,000 telegrams a month from our state representatives giving news of bills introduced or enacted. Think what that means to the business concerned!" It was interesting to find a service doing in the legislative field what Dun and Bradstree do in the matter of credits. Mr. Coigne started to give me a little digest of one week's legislation throughout the country, but it was too much for me. I could understand the descriptive slogan of his corporation—The Coigne of the Realm"—by the end of three minutes of it. There are 1000 newspaper women in New York City. We all remember Bernard Shaw's play with the hero who could tell which side of any square in London a person loved by the difference in dialect or pronunciation. I've found something just as remarkable as that. The fruit men down here at Washington Market can tell by the look of a strawberry whether it is from Delaware, Maryland or New Jersey. This year's pre-Decoration day Saturday saw the largest crowd leaving town for a three-day vacation that the railroads have known in years. Officials said that 273,000 people left the city from the two main railroad terminals on Saturday, with thousands more getting out on Sunday. This does not include the myriad who left by motor. Three million dollars in Soviet gold is alleged to be somewhere in this city, and Alfred Telfeyan, rug importer, would like to know where he was in Russia in 1920 and claims he had $30,000 in rugs confiscated by the Red Army. Recently he read of the arrival here of the $3,000,000 consigned to the National Bank of Commerce and the Guaranty Trust. But neither bank admits having any of it. On how to force farmers to sell their products below cost while keeping the cost of living sky-high, any of our big business men can teach the Filipino things they little dream of now. Oh, yes! the Philippine Islands are backward. But we must not forget they have not always had the benefit of our political teachings and example. Given time, and men like the above mentioned to put them onto the ropes, and they'll no doubt justify all our hopes. The person who is responsibly conciliatory and considerate gets on better in life than the pugnacious, inconsiderate one who is always "spoiling for a fight." There is far greater need of harmonized energies of peace than of fighting. Truth is, there is less actual need of fighting and less excuse for fighting today than ever before in the history of the human race. For the standards of intelligence are higher and the realization among the masses of mankind is keener that wars between nation or between classes are essentially hurful and wholly unnecessary. There are one hundred good and valid reasons why mankind should live in peace and harmony to one sane, logical reason for war. An Ohio paper offers $1000 for every war profiteer Hank Daugherty jails, and a Rolls Royce for every Republican war profiteer Hank jails. Thunder and blazes, that isn't even a gamble.

Transcription of the newspaper article: Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying RUSS OF THE BUDGET—New York Evening Post. A ship can do when stranded by the contractions which are the budget figures in the house by Budget. Two men look at items. One of them is economical!" while the other, "How extravagant!" was call the attention of a "saving" of a billion. The Democrats invite observers to observe the way in which of government is guided to this uscien-might learn something mathematics from General submitting his figures the budget declared the non-partisan prod-on to make some re-using the proper meaning which in their engerness over the significance of congressmen of both instantly skipped. If any-one a "saving" of $1.00 a government expenditure over 1921, it is not the man of the administra-tor other hand, to charge taxes are "plainly deceptive" they have been "man-a effort to mislead the publicly ridiculous." Over the resolution in which General Dawes report, Representative Democratic member appropriations committee, he felt bound to attack He had no difficulty in congress made defi-nitions of $293,000,000UNT fiscal year. If he taken the further step of showing that General Dawes had attempted to be "plainly deceptive" by omitting these appropriations from his report Congressman Byrns would have justified his words. This he could not do, and consequently he contented himself with pointing out the fact that the administration did not keep within the limits fixed by congress. Caudor would have compelled him to add that this is an old habit of administrations—a habit which it is one of the avowed purposes of the budget system to correct—and that it is well understood that the deficiency bills of which Mr. Byrns spoke are among the last that will be introduced while Dawes is director of the budget? It is indisputable that the government is spending much less than it was and that the chief reason for the reduction is the fact that the war is over. It is equally indisputable that the budget system has effected real savings of something like a quarter of a billion dollars. What is forgotten is that a budget system is not established solely as an agency of economy in the amount of money appropriated. It is no less important as an agency of economy in efficient use of that money—and also as an agency of correct accounting for excited congressmen. There is one point concerning the budget which was not made. This is that if the Republicans pass a bonus bill they will deal the budget a blow in comparison with which the most violent criticism of their opponents will be a love tap. Tommy Woolwine, candidate for governor, got on the front page right away, after he announced his candidacy. PUSH AND BOOST FOR ANAHEIM If you think your town's the best, Tell 'em so!
